Also, I said that if at any point he wanted to discuss amnesty or surrender, I'd play messenger owl. Because he could be useful, outside the wards.

He made it clear he won't, that he would rather go down fighting than otherwise. And that he's clear that Barty is very high on our list of people to kill.

And "Tell Alice Longbottom I look forward to matching wits and wands with her."

I'm cross-checking anything he says. I can't tell any more what's reasonable paranoia or unreasonable paranoia. I haven't told him details about anyone who hasn't already been public, but he's clearly guessed or heard about a number of students on our side.
